SHORTPOD (107) THE PERFORMATIVE STUPIDITY OF U.S. PRESIDENTS AND THE ACTUAL STUPIDITY OF TRUMP

One of the oddest things about US politics is the preference of voters for Presidential candidates who appear to be stupid, or at least intellectually dim. This results in winning candidates acting a lot dumber than they really are, unless they are Black, when the rule tends to reverse. With the advent of Donald Trump, however, Colin Liddell argues, Americans finally hit the jackpot and got the genuine dumbass president they have always wanted.

GWB was a National Air Guard pilot, they are basically a engineers. And come to think of it, he may've have a high verbal intelligence - it's simpler to feign being a bad speaker. One interesting case is Mayim Bialik who is a trained dancer. In an episode of The Big Bang Theory she basically anti-danced.

Anyways, the Trump Administration proves Rene Descartes(?) observation that "Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they're in good company."
